• Notes

  DEATH OF A VERY OLD RESIDENT - On Sunday last there passed away a very old and respected resident of this section, Mrs. James Scrimger. The deceased lady was taken ill about a week before her death. Mrs. Scrimger was the daughter of the late Mr. Thomas Keachie, and was a native of Florida, Montgomery County, York state. She came to this country when very young and was married in 1829, we believe, residing with her husband almost continuously on the homestead near the Toll-gate during the whole of their long married life of 53 years. The deceased lady and her family occupied prominent positions in the history of this section and in all its vicissitudes, enjoyed the thorough confidence and respect of all who knew them. Her aged partner, now in his 82nd year is yet hale and hearty and has the warmest sympathy of our people in his loss. Mrs. Scrimger was an eminently christian woman, and her end was most peaceful and resigned. We regret to hear that her brother, Mr. Bailey Keachie is at present quite ill and at his advanced age, this causes his friends anxiety. Galt Reporter May 11 1883 pg 1
